Motive Stylus is Now the First iPad Stylus with a Custom Tip

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Fri Jun 22, 2012 7:01 am (PDT)



Motive Stylus is Now the First iPad Stylus with a Custom Tip - Published on 06/22/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Motive Stylus is now the first iPad stylus with a tip that can be customized, all thanks to input from Kickstarter. People who have pre-ordered their own Motive Stylus requested that Motive Stylus also come with a hard tip that feels more like a writing instrument. In response to their feedback Motive has designed a hard tip that will accompany every Motive Stylus. For the first time people can customize the tip of their iPad stylus to fit how they want it to feel when they draw on their iPad.

New York, New York - Motive Stylus is now the first iPad stylus with a tip that can be customized, all thanks to input from Kickstarter.

Motive Stylus launched on Kickstarter, a crowd funding platform where designers can post their product for pre-order. Kickstarter users who have reserved their own Motive Stylus requested that Motive Stylus also come with a hard tip that feels more like a writing instrument.

The tip of an iPad stylus is by far the most important part. It determines how the stylus will feel when it is used to draw on the iPad screen. Some people prefer a tip that is flexible with some feedback while others want one that is more firm. The typical iPad stylus is designed in a way that makes it impossible to swap the tip and customize how it feels. Some styluses don't have tips that can even be removed without destroying them.

Motive Stylus is a unique design in that the tip is easy to swap. Removing the tip is as simple as just unscrewing it. Originally Motive Stylus came with just one tip style. A flexible tip that provides some feedback when used with the iPad. Due to the feedback from Kickstarter users, a second tip was designed that has a firm feel. With a bit of engineering ingenuity it will be possible to create both tips without raising the level of funding required.

Each Motive Stylus now comes with two tips, hard and soft. Users can customize the tip of their Motive Stylus to find the feel that they prefer when they use it with their iPads.

When asked about the Kickstarter experience Motive founder Ben Powell said, "Kickstarter provides a unique advantage. By launching on Kickstarter prior to manufacturing we have been able to involve people from all over the world in the design process. They asked for the ability to customize the tip, we listened and found a way to make it happen."

In response to the new tip design Tony Nesta, a Kickstarter user said "This is why I like kickstarter. Nice one Ben."

Motive Stylus is also unique in its ability to elegantly unroll from stylus to perfectly flat. When flat, Motive Stylus attaches magnetically to the front of the Smart Cover. Motive Stylus is designed to be the perfect sidekick for the iPad Smart Cover. When attached the Smart Cover can still be flipped and folded into a stand with Motive Stylus along for the ride.

The iPad has the potential to become the ultimate sketchbook. Developers are constantly inventing new drawing apps that people love. From Sketchbook Pro and Paper to games like Draw Something. Having a stylus upgrades the drawing experience on the iPad. Motive Stylus is the missing piece that will help the iPad meet its full potential.

Motive Stylus is available for pre-order on Kickstarter for a limited time.

It's a Sicily Hot Summer - Announcing Combat Mission: Fortress Italy

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

Fri Jun 22, 2012 9:31 am (PDT)



It's a Sicily Hot Summer - Announcing Combat Mission: Fortress Italy - Published on 06/22/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Announcing Combat Mission: Fortress Italy, the latest addition to the Combat Mission lineup of tactical warfare games by Battlefront.com, now available for preorder for an anticipated August release. This game for Mac OS X and PC, covers the Allied struggle to knock Italy out of the Second World War with the battle for Sicily. The combat forces include American, Italian, and German forces. Users can pre-order now and get the Tin Case Limited Edition and save $10.

Dover-Foxcroft, Maine - Fortress Italy is a new "family" of Combat Mission games covering the Allied struggle to knock Italy out of the Second World War. This initial release deals explicitly with the battle for Sicily and sets the groundwork for future additions to simulate the hard fighting in the rugged terrain of "Europe's underbelly" up until the war's end in 1945.

Combat Mission: Fortress Italy does not require any of the previous Combat Mission titles to play. Both PC and Mac versions are available.

Steve Grammont from Battlefront.com comments, "We always wanted to return to the Mediterranean Theater, though figured it would be several years before we got to it. Simply put, the stars aligned last summer and work started in September. Now it is in final beta testing and it's time to tell you what to expect from it."

The combat forces immediately available to players include the full range of historically available American, Italian, and German forces which fought in Sicily. In addition to the completely new Italian forces, both the American and German organizations differ significantly from those familiar to Combat Mission: Battle for Normandy players.

Some of the highlights are elite formations such as:
* Italian Bersaglieri
* American Rangers
* German Herman Goring Division

Of course, the time frame and units involved require equipment new to the Combat Mission series. A full list is available on the new Fortress Italy website, however here are some particularly fun gadgets to play with:

* R-35 Light Tank
* Semovente 90/53
* Panzer Mk III
* Grille
* M3 GMC Halftrack
* T30 HMC Halftrack

Players get to dive in and try these forces out in three campaigns, one from the perspective of each national force (USA, Germany, Italy), a host of new stand alone battles, and the automatically generated QuickBattles. It won't take long for Normandy players to feel how different this time period and setting is from what they are used to. And the Italian forces are very interesting indeed. Squads the size of Platoons, almost no radios at all, few antitank weapons, proportionally few support weapons, and relatively light armored vehicles present even the best CM player with a lot of new challenges.

Fortress Italy features more than just a new setting and new units. It is also the first Combat Mission game to be upgraded with our CMx2 engine Version 2.0 features.

Here are just a few of the new features you'll experience:
* Moveable Waypoints
* Target Armor Arc Command
* Expanded Floating Icon Categories
* "Fog of War" Floating Icons
* 2D Editor Map Overlay
* Auto-Assemble Road/Wall/Hedge Tool
* Camera Jump to Groups
* Target Briefly Command
* New Rendering Shaders
* Bump and Normal Mapping
* Improved Framerates
* Pausable Realtime TCP/IP Mode
* ...and more!

In all, Combat Mission: Fortress Italy packs a lot of punch and is sure to have a lot of surprises for even the most experienced wargamer. If there are any doubts about this you should check out the Demo when it is made available (near release time).

As mentioned in the introduction, you can already preorder CMFI right now. Preorder customers get benefits:

* Save $10. You only pay $55 plus Shipping & Handling and will receive a download and the physical goods by mail at no extra cost.

* If you preorder, you are guaranteed to receive the Tin Case Limited Edition of Combat Mission Fortress Italy, including a new printed game engine manual (100 pages), game engine v2.0 updated features, and the Tin Case all metal DVD box. The Tin Case is not a Steelbook(tm) and is all metal with a plastic window. It can hold up to four discs, enough room to store all your CMFI module discs in one convenient place.

Both the printed manuals and the Tin Cases, available to all preorder customers, are limited as long as supplies last.

Car Xpenses app - updated with user input, keeps cars in tip-top shape - Published on 06/23/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Umbrella Corporation has released Car Xpenses - Manage Vehicle Maintenance 1.4, an update to its popular car maintenance app designed for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. Car Xpenses for iOS, changed the way car owners care for their vehicles allowing users to manage vehicle expenses, servicing, and maintenance. Car Xpenses - Manage Vehicle Maintenance, has been improved by a round of significant upgrades inspired, in part, by critical user feedback.

Cairo, Egypt - Umbrella Corporation, a renowned software developer specializing in mobile productivity applications, is pleased to announce that the latest version of its popular car maintenance app, Car Xpenses - Manage Vehicle Maintenance, has been improved by a round of significant upgrades inspired, in part, by critical user feedback. Car Xpenses for iOS, changed the way car owners care for their vehicles allowing users to manage vehicle expenses, servicing, and maintenance with little more than the tap of a fingertip.

Version 1.4 of Car Xpenses - Manage Vehicle Maintenance gives users the option of personalizing their vehicles in the Car Service Events calendar, making it even easier for users to customize their own effective, and unique, method of maintaining the condition and servicing of their vehicles. Several bug fixes have been completed, and a new Notes feature within the calendar makes it easy for users to keep abreast of all the information they need, when they need it. The recent upgrades have driven even more positive conversation toward Car Xpenses, which - even in its early iterations - was considered a game-changing application in offering car owners a better way to efficiently track and manage vehicle servicing, maintenance, and repair costs.

"The responses have been so overwhelming from the start - we certainly believe that we have created a disruptive product in the sense that Car Xpenses is, literally, changing the way people go about caring for, and maintaining, their vehicles," said Amr El Rafie, the founder of Umbrella Corporation. "In this latest round of enhancements, we paid special attention to make sure that we responded directly to the substantial user feedback Car Xpenses has garnered. That said, version 1.4 has been customized to better meet user expectations and offer more dynamic, comprehensive, and efficient modes of vehicle care, servicing, and maintenance."

Car Xpenses has been lauded as an important productivity app, thanks to its focus on an area that is almost always a sore spot for car owners: vehicle maintenance. Thanks to the many features and capabilities within Car Xpenses - Manage Vehicle Maintenance, car owners can keep their car in superb condition without having to scratch their head, in worry, trying to figure out when they last had the oil changed, or recalibrated the wheels.

"Let's face it, most people are not mechanics," said El Rafie. "It can be very difficult for car owners to keep track of all the work they have had done on their car. That makes it even more difficult to know what types of servicing should be coming around the bend, and the upshot is usually that folks wear their cars out, or drive them into the ground. Not anymore, though. With Car Xpenses, anyone can keep track of their vehicle maintenance - like a pro - and never have to try and remember when they last changed the battery."

Car Xpenses is bolstered by an intricately-designed, user-friendly interface that was developed by top-tier usability and design professionals. The app, available at iTunes (in Productivity) for $2.99 USD, makes it easy for users to update their servicing info, on the fly, and makes it possible to organize all car maintenance and servicing data with little more than a few taps of a finger.

Key Features:
* New calendar Notes feature
* Enhanced version 1.4 vehicle customization (in Car Service Events calendar)
* Simple on-the-fly click entries
* Unlimited sub-category customization
* Annual/Monthly expenses view
* View expenses by location

* Service history reporting
* Choose service intervals by miles/km or duration (or both)

iFretless Bass: a new musical instrument app for iPhone and iPad

Posted by: "prMac Mailer" prservices@prmac.com

iFretless Bass: a new musical instrument app for iPhone and iPad - Published on 06/23/12

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Blue Mangoo Software announces iFretless Bass 1.3 for iOS. iFretless Bass sounds just like a real bass guitar, featuring a user interface design that makes it more playable, cleverly avoiding the usual limitations imposed by the small screen size. Its MIDI feature gives iFretless Bass the ability to connect the iPad to electronic keyboards, software synthesizers, and digital audio workstations and make use of the high quality sounds and samples there.

Hanoi, Viet Nam - Blue Mangoo Software is pleased to announce the release of iFretless Bass 1.3 for iOS. IFretless Bass is an app that sounds like a real bass guitar and has an original user interface design that makes it more playable than other iPad guitar apps. YouTube videos demonstrate the developers making music in a way that shows iFretless as an expressive new musical instrument, capable of taking its place in the studio alongside guitars, keyboards and drums.

"If you've ever watched youTube, chances are you've seen an iBand; a group of musicians who get together and jam on their iPhones and iPads. It's a joke, usually," said Hans Anderson, Director at Blue Mangoo Software. "Some of the performances are polished and well played, but it's the novelty of watching rock stars strumming on mobile phones that attracts viewers, not the quality of the music. But with iFretless, the iPad is now a legitimate musical instrument. Have a look at the videos and you'll see what i'm talking about."

The iFretless user interface is designed to allow users to play live music on an iPad, cleverly avoiding the usual limitations imposed by the small screen size. Here are some of the features that make it more playable than other musical instrument apps:

9 String Bass:
Squeezing the 34 inch neck of a bass guitar onto the screen of a 9 inch tablet is a challenge that requires compromise... or ingenuity. Most guitar apps approach this challenge by adding a scrollbar and by making the space between the frets much smaller than the fret spacing on a real guitar.

IFretless takes a different approach - instead of scrolling along the length of the strings, it adds more strings in the vertical direction. The iPad version has nine strings and nine frets on the screen so you can comfortably play a range of three octaves without scrolling at all. A total of 81 notes are visible, each note having a touchable area that leaves plenty of room for the sloppy fingerwork that happens when musicians are grooving hard.

An Expressive MIDI Controller:
The iFretless Bass sound is solid enough on the low strings to stand in for a real bass guitar but the selling-point of the app isn't the bass sound. Instead, it's the MIDI feature that gives this app the ability to connect the iPad to electronic keyboards, software synthesizers, and digital audio workstations and make use of the high quality sounds and samples there.

Virtual MIDI: iOS Users Don't Need Midi Hardware:
There's a wonderful secret among the iOS musician community: virtual midi apps. On the app store is a growing collection of software synthesizers that run directly on the iPhone or iPad without using any external hardware at all. These apps run in the background; when connected to iFretless via virtual MIDI, each time the user plays a note in iFretless, instead of hearing the built-in bass sound, she hears a Hammond Organ, an electric guitar or a Moog synthesizer. Whatever sound you're looking for, chances are there's an iOS virtual midi app that offers it.

An Instrument Designed From The Ground Up For iOS:
The iFretless developers didn't want to make another guitar imitation app. The GUI borrows from guitar design but whenever there was a choice between making it more like a guitar and making a smoother playing experience on the iPad, they chose the better playing experience.

To start, they chose not to include an imitation of guitar string bending. "There are much better ways to use the vertical axis of motion than bending strings. And there's no need for bending; sliding horizontally, a la fretless bass, is so much more expressive, more precise." said Hans Anderson, Director at Blue Mangoo Software.

Instead of bending the strings, sliding a finger in the vertical direction allows you to smoothly slide between strings, making for some very fast arpeggios. Removing the string bending also makes it possible for the user to scroll the strings in the vertical direction by pulling up or down vertically. If you find this difficult to visualize, the last of the three videos explains it well.

Supported Languages:

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, 3/4G iPod touch and iPad
